Investigators continue to search for evidence against two Middle Eastern men accused of plotting a suicide bombing of the New York subways.
They are now examining a possible suicide note, which contains rants against Americans and Jews. An investigator says authorities are translating piles of Arabic material found in the suspects' Brooklyn apartment. Records from a nearby pay phone are also being reviewed to determine a possible motive.
When the two men were arrested on Thursday, according to authorities, they were only hours away from detonating nail-studded pipe bombs in a busy Brooklyn subway station.
There have been reports that the men are connected to Hamas. But James Kallstrom, who runs the FBI's New York office, says there's no evidence to link the suspects to the radical Muslim group. And Hamas itself, denies any involvement.
